But, how many songs should you give us? Let’s do some quick math… the average song is around 3-4 minutes long. (We’ll use 3 minutes to make the math easy.) 60 minutes in an hour, 3 minutes a song… 20 songs an hour MAX. If you give us 100 “Must Play” songs to play during your 2 hours of open dancing, we just can’t do it. We recommend 5-10 Must Plays and 10-15 Play if Possibles. That gives us a great snapshot of your musical tastes, while still giving us some freedom to use our experience at reading a crowd.
Our goal as professional wedding DJs is to play music for you… this is YOUR wedding, so we want to make sure we play music YOU want to hear. With that being said, if your goal is to have people dancing all night, pick music that your guests would dance to. We’re happy to offer suggestions and have plenty of tools to help with song selections. Below is a link to our Music page which features the Top 200 Most Requested songs, as well as the Top 100 from each decade going back to the 1950’s. We hope this helps.

When it comes to entertainment for your Denver wedding – or any event for that matter – some people feel that an iPod connected to a couple of speakers is all that they need. It’s just music, after all. Well, that’s not entirely accurate… Music is an important piece of your wedding reception entertainment, but there is so much more that a professional DJ/MC provides than the music. Our trained, professional Wedding Disc Jockeys from Denver, Colorado take great pride in the experience we deliver to your wedding guests. Check out this great article from a wedding planner in Toronto who speaks from her own personal experience.
You’ve had your First Dance, Father-Daughter Dance, and Mother-Son Dance. Now, it’s time to pack the dance floor & party! The DJ plays <insert best song ever here>, and nobody moves. Let’s face it – nobody really wants to be the first peron on a dance floor. We love using the Wedding Party Dance to fix this. We invite all of the bridesmaids & groomsmen to join the bride & groom on the dance floor and play a fun, upbeat song for them to dance to. About 1 minute into the song, we invite all the other guests to come join them. And they do! The dance floor is packed, and the party has begun!
As DJs with thousands of events under our belts, we’ve seen nearly every type of setup & floor plan imaginable… some more ideal than others. When you are designing the layout for your wedding reception, there are a few things to keep in mind. We found a great article on Martha Stewart Weddings that really spells it out. From the DJ’s perspective, numbers 3 and 4 are huge!
